Hair fall is a natural phenomenon. There could be many reasons for hair shedding which include lack of nutrients, unhealthy lifestyle, mineral deficiency, medications such as steroids, pollution, stress, aging factors, pregnancy in women and a genetic disorder. Are worried about drastic hair fall and looking for a solution, then here is where your quest ends.
What do you mean by Mesotherapy?
Mesotherapy is a non-surgical medicine treatment that supplies vitamins, enzymes, hormones and plant extracts to the body through injections. This technique is primarily used to tighten and rejuvenate dull and droopy skin. However, the treatment can be used for various problems such as:
- Fat removal from the stomach, thighs, buttocks, hips, arms, and face
- Cellulite reduction
- Fade wrinkles and lines
- Reshaping body
- Lighten pigmented skin
How does mesotherapy treat alopecia?
Alopecia is known to be an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss. The baldness occurs mainly on the scalp or other parts of the body. The problem is faced by both males as well as females across the world. However, the intensity and pattern of hair fall may differ. The symptoms include receding hairline, hair loss patches, thinning crown.
Hair mesotherapy is based on the principle of correcting underlying issues such as poor blood circulation and inflammation that cause damage in scalp or skin. It is a healing treatment that prevents hair loss and increases the density of hair follicles. Also, there is an option to prevent male spillage and opening. The therapy provides moisturization and nourishment to the scalp by injecting needles with mild or no pain. The treatment aims to increase metabolism in cells and prevents the scalp from infections.
It is a treatment that uses fine needles to inject essential vitamins, enzymes, natural plant extracts, and hormones into the head. Medications such as finasteride and minoxidil are recommended by doctors for hair regrowth. The therapy helps to improve hormonal balance over time, inactivates the DTH hormone and creates new hair follicles rapidly.
The therapy requires multiple sessions, usually eight intervals of half an hour in a week. During each sitting, you get several injections in a row with the help of a special needle. The incisions are made at different depths mainly up to 4 millimeters. Each injection may only put a tiny drop of solution into your skin. The contents of the fluid vary depending upon the cause of hair loss. It is also possible that you may need multiple mesotherapy to achieve the desired results.
Is mesotherapy safe?
The fluid inserted in the scalp contains tissue-friendly materials such as vitamins and nutrients. Therefore, the entire process is safe and does not cause any side effects or allergic reactions. However, to avoid any kind of health problem, people suffering from skin diseases, skin burns, diabetes, hemophilia or a pregnant woman should not opt for this treatment. Mesotherapy can be used to treat severe dandruff problems too.
What is Bio-Gen Therapy?
Bio-Gen or Gene therapy is an advanced technique to cure inherited baldness. The process aims to change genes of existing cells and thereby, alters the cell function. It is a powerful tool to reduce hair loss and increase the density and thickness of hair. In the treatment, essential nutrients and vitamins needed for hair growth are supplied to the hair roots through micro-injections over the scalp. With the help of gene therapy, the hair follicles with DHT-sensitive cells could be changed into DHT-resistant follicle cells. Also, the hair follicles continue to grow new hair life long.
How does Bio-Gen Therapy work?
The treatment involves introducing a copy of an abnormal genetic material into the cells to make a beneficial protein. A carrier known as a vector is genetically created to deliver the gene. At times, there may be certain viruses used as vectors as they can deliver the new gene by infecting the cell. The viruses are modified such that they are harmless for patients. Retrovirus is one such virus that integrates the genetic material into a chromosome in the human cell. While adenovirus introduces DNA into the nucleus of the cell but does not integrate it with chromosome.
The hair expert or dermatologist can either inject the vector in the patient's scalp or can supply it intravenously through IV into specific cell tissues in the body. Another method is to take up a sample of the patient's cell and expose it to the vector in a laboratory. The cells containing vector are thereafter, returned to the patient. If the treatment works, the new gene created by the vector will create a functioning protein. Gene therapy has faced many technical challenges and is not yet so popular. However, researches are made to overcome the loopholes and make it a potential future hair loss treatment.
